A Soviet-era reconnaissance drone flying across Hungary from Ukraine has crashed near the Croatian capital of Zagreb, leaving a big hole in the ground, the Croatian government says.
A statement issued by Croatia's government said the 'pilotless military aircraft' crashed seven minutes after entering Croatia airspace from neighbouring Hungary at a speed of 700 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 1,300 metres.

To hit something forcefully and repeatedly is to ‘whale’ on it. ‘Wail’ and ‘wale’ are often mistakenly substituted in this case, but have separate meanings.
Wait, now I’m confused. Did you go to the same school I did? 😉
Gosh I never thought of it that way. 😆😆😆
Agree
I was just messing with you. My worst mistakes, bordering on illiteracy when read happen when I first wake up and my eyes and brain are not fully operational that first 10 minutes.
Well great, just great. The boomerang curse of smartassery hits me. Turns out whale is correct. Dammit dammit dammit.
